Great 1st Or Budget Car. — It was my 2nd car ever, so I learned a lot about it. I drove it both in CO winters and FL summers, and monsoon season. It did pretty great across the board in all weather, though I am a pretty fantastic driver (i.e. I know how to drive in the snow.) Maintenance was all very easy, I never had anything happen to it other than regular oil changes, and it was a very versatile car. Except when I got it stuck on the beach because sand does not behave like snow, but some very nice guys pulled it out.

Pros: Great everyday car, comfortable.

Cons: Volvo leather is the bane of my existance. Not a very sporty car.

Safe, Reliable, Sporty, Fun Vehicle — What more could you ask for? This is the a little more fun Volvo ( in my opinion ), which is sporty and fun to drive, 4 door sedan but with that sporty twist so it's more compact not like a full size sedan. You still get all the safety features however and just need to keep up regular maintenance and they go forever.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: Too many...

Cons: None

I Loved It And I Am Going To Miss It. — Mostly the looks of the car and its Turbo feel when I took off or needed to move quickly. The car never ceased to get approving comments. When I do use the highway, I can be as aggressive as I choose and the car responds immediately. Finally I always felt safe in this car. I have been the only owner. I will have to get a picture and post it.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: The car is very good looking and maintained on a regular basis.  It has always be dependable, and compared to other cars I have owned  and or driven this car has more pickup than most.  It is equiped with turbo drive. The interior has Leather seats in excellent condition.  Radio is excellent.  Heater is in excellent and the air conditioner is working fine.

Cons: I get abour 22 miles to the gallon in mostly local driving.  I do get better mileage on the highway, however, I rarely use the highways.

A Steal Of A Deal — This is the second volvo I have owned. The first one was a Volvo 850. I was hit while stopped at a light by another car going 65 miles per hour and walked away without a scratch. Thus, why I purchased another Volvo. They are tanks of vehicles and extremely safe. The turbo is a huge plus to this vehicle and it handles the road amazingly well.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: -Turbo is amazing
-Handles extremely well
-Smooth quiet ride
-More trunk space than you would expect
-Even without 4WD it drives extremely well in snow, and has good clearance for a sudan.  

Cons: -Front right wheel suspension may need a look in the near future, thus why I priced it on the lower side.

Good If It's Just You Or One Other Person. — Been driving Lucy for three years. Ride could be a bit smoother at times, but really a great car. Plenty of power. Performs when needed. Put about 1,600 dollars worth over the summer. Fun to drive. Hope to keep the car for years to come

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: really shines when clean. Fun taking care of her.

Cons: No space in the back

A Good Drive But Not Worth The Hassle — Acc around 9.5 seconds to 60 not an all out sports sedan but spirited because of the 1.9L Turbo. Braking: Great Handling: So so could be better. It was a fun car to drive when it wasn't in the shop. Avoid the 2000-2001 model S40s, 2002-2004 were great solid build years. Appearance: great on the outside, inside needs some work. Cost of ownership: high, if id been without my extended warranty I would be toast. Maintenance as well as high as other luxury auto makers, go for a bimmer or benz if you don't mind paying the ridiculous $150hr rate they charged after I got rid of it.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: Safety and comfort

Cons: Maintenance, CEL, Power Driver's seat and headlights

I Love My Volvo — I love my car! it is great in the snow, the trunk holds a lot of bags of groceries. THe leather interior as held up beautifully. I love the sun roof for the summer and the heated seats in the winter is a nice bonus. I feel we got a great car for a great price. I feel very safe in my Volvo and thats important to me because my son is usually in the car with me.

Pros: Safe, reliable, comfortable, beautiful lines, great pick up.

Cons: It's ridiculously expensive to repair.  Luckily it hasn't had anything done to it but a tune up but even that was big $$$

My 2001 Volvo S40 — I have a great 2001 Volvo S40 1.9T. It has some wuickness to it and it also handles like a champ. The turbo is perfect for accelrating this heavy piece of machinery. Weighing in at almost 4,000 lbs, it is definanently a heavy car. But that is one of the things that make it one of the safest cars on the road. All in all, I LOVE MY CAR!MUY

Pros: good acceleration, good braking distance, good safety ratings

Cons: it is only a 1.9 Litre engine
